  • Advise clients, internal leaders, and government agencies as a civil engineering subject matter expert, applying current regulations, industry trends, and best practices to reduce risk and strengthen outcomes.
  • Review complex technical documents and project deliverables for design accuracy, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance, and lead field inspections to confirm construction aligns with design intent.
  • Mentor team members, lead lessons-learned and professional-development activities, and provide technical guidance that expands team capability and supports major strategic project decisions.

Qualifications:
